Rubber tiles can expand with heat and sunlight, this is normal with all rubber tiles.Can the rubber patio pavers be used on top of a rubber membrane roof? Do the need some sort of spacers for drainage and air flow?For a roof top installation we would recommend at least 2 inch thickness, this allows for water drainage under the tiles and the thicker tiles do better over time for outdoor use.

Rubber Tiles Outdoor

While there is a lot of human activity present in the outdoors, your patio floors face danger from another source: nature. Weather can often be very detrimental to surfaces like wood and asphalt. Lesser materials simply do not function as well as rubber in outdoor environments for a couple of reasons. UV rays can slowly degrade the quality of your wooden surfaces while rain can stain wood and chip away at asphalt. The proper type of rubber pavers can help safeguard these surfaces of your outdoor deck floors and other areas. The material in our outdoor rubber flooring is ideal for resisting the degrading effects of rain and UV rays. Rubber does not absorb moisture and inhibits the presence of organic materials on its surface and can last longer against the damaging effects of UV rays. Their unique resistance to elemental abrasions makes them the perfect outdoor matting for any area. The type of rubber used in our outdoor rubber flooring products is most often recycled rubber, although some make use of synthetic SBR rubber. Their common feature is all-weather resistance, which is why such rubber pavers are perfect for use as outside mats. Recycled rubber, in particular, is of added benefit to customers because it offers a superior level of long-term durability at cost-effective rates. This is hard to beat when compared to other all-synthetic products. Additionally, it can help the eco-conscious consumer reduce their overall environmental impact because recycled rubber products contribute to reducing waste in the eco system. For example, most types of recycled outdoor rubber flooring are constructed from the rubber of discarded automobile tires. It is estimated that more than 250 million automobile tires are thrown out in the United States everywhere – this is a gigantic number. In using recycled automobile rubber for their outdoor rubber flooring mats, manufactures are helping the environment, while simultaneously providing you with durable and eminently reliable product. Rubber is a flexible and elastic material that offers a good degree of comfort and cushioning. Compared to hard surfaces like concrete, asphalt, tile, or even wood, outdoor rubber flooring provides the feet a softer surface on which to stand on. The softer material in these outdoor matting products helps relieve the feet of a degree of pressure that can build up around the soles and ankles. This kind of anti-fatigue comfort comes in handy for situations like a barbeque party where people are often standing by the grill socializing. If your guests are standing on the proper type of outside mats, then they will feel much more comfortable being on their feet for longer periods of time. Additionally, this aspect of outdoor rubber flooring functions well when it comes to supporting employees who work outside for long periods of time. Outdoor rubber flooring can serve to enhance the aesthetic value of an area. An outdoor area is often used for business, entertainment, or simple relaxation. Unfortunately, these places can be rather unsightly and could benefit from being covered up. Why let the overall appeal of your home or businesses suffer from a blight that can easily be covered up? Outdoor matting can cover up stained or damaged patio floors and deck floors. Additionally, a complete layer of outdoor rubber flooring can protect you and your guests from slipping on flooring that may be damaged with cracks or small potholes. As important as indoor rubber flooring is, it is equally important to consider outdoor rubber flooring. They are an affordable way to keep your existing outdoor surfaces protected against harm from physical objects and from the weather. In addition to their great durability, they are also great for providing the necessary comfort for you and your guests. If your outdoor areas are damaged, outdoor rubber flooring is a great way to cover it up and prevent any future damage as well. It is the easiest way to protect your outdoor investment.
